The Premier League season is edging ever closer, and teams are speeding up their transfer business.
Teams have just over one week to bring in any new players in time for the new season’s start next Saturday.
However, teams will still have just under a month to make signings - with the transfer window shutting on October 5.
With that being said, there are plenty of transfer rumours going around, and here are the latest coming out of the Premier League.
Villa see Wilson bid rejected
Aston Villa have had a £15m bid rejected by Bournemouth for striker Callum Wilson, according to a report in the Guardian.
The Cherries, who will be playing Championship football next season, are holding out for a bigger fee for the English forward.
Brentford striker Ollie Watkins is also a target for Villa, the report states, but it’s Wilson they’re making moves for.
However, Dean Smith’s side will have to offer more than £15m if they are to land the 28-year-old from Bournemouth.
West Ham target could have contract cancelled
Reported West Ham United target Samuel Umtiti could see his £135,000-a-week contract at Barcelona be cancelled, according to Cadena Ser.
Mundo Deportivo reported in July that the Hammers were interested in bringing the French centre-back to the Premier League.
Umtiti still has three years of his current deal remaining at the Nou Camp, but Barca could look to cancel the big-money deal in order to save on some funds.
The Guardian say that new Barca boss Ronald Koeman has already explained to Umtiti that he has no future at the club.
Wolves and Everton chase Atletico winger
Premier League duo Wolves and Everton are both interested in signing Atletico Madrid winger Thomas Lemar, according to Spanish outlet AS.
Atletico signed Lemar from Monaco for a huge £62m a couple of years ago, but are now willing to let him go for less than half of that - at £27m.
Portuguese giants Porto are also keen on the France World Cup winner, but the player would prefer a move to England, the report claims.
Life at the Wanda Metropolitano hasn’t been great for the 24-year-old Frenchman, scoring just four goals in 72 games across all competitions.
